Plethon's Vision
The arrival of the philosopher Georgios Gemistus Plethon at the court of Mystras has signaled a radical shift in the Morean identity, as he has proposed a return to the laws and social structures of ancient Sparta. Plethon advocates for a national army of native Greeks rather than unreliable mercenaries, and a social order based on Hellenic heritage rather than just Christian confession. This proto-nationalist awakening will provide the Despotate with a powerful ideological weapon, transforming the defense of the Morea into a crusade for the survival of the Greek nation itself, which will bolster the prestige of our ruling house even if we stick to Christianity.
